among the pages

if you’ve wished for some
cluttered existence / of trails
of typefaces arranged just so
and so on and so forth / words
as a currency and a religion
some grandiose dream you
secretly hoped / secretly disbelieved
existed / then i present you
this dazzlingly hopeful answer
this is where and how
we choose to live

I'm Briar – Briar Lawry, if you were wondering which particular one. Raw Library is an anagram of my name and a place for my writing – about anything, in theory, but mostly about books, the music industry and chronic illness. And sometimes coffee.
